Starting from the Mambray Creek Day Visitor Area at the end of Park Road, Mount Remarkable National Park, this walk takes you to the Melrose War Memorial via the Black Range Trek. This challenging trek connects the Mambray Creek Day Visitor Area to Melrose and is best done over multiple days, with multiple camping options along the route to split up the distance. The trek initially meanders through the Mambray Creek Valley, passing Scarfes Hut and the Sugar Gum Lookout, then heads over the steep Black Range to Grays Hut. From there, the trek climbs steeply to the summit of Mount Remarkable before descending to the town of Melrose. The walk begins near the Mambray Creek Campground, which is suitable for tents, caravans, camper vans and camper trailers and has toilets, showers and fire pits. This walk consists of narrow walking trails and fire tracks, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, rocky surfaces, steep hills and creek crossings, suitable for high fitness levels, and can be done in either direction. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
